The anomeric carbon is the carbon atom in a sugar molecule that is bonded to both an oxygen atom and a hydroxyl group.

The anomeric form of glucose is the alpha-anomer.

Anomerisation is a chemical process that involves the interconversion of anomers.

The anomerization of glucose results in the formation of its alpha and beta anomers.

The anomerics are important in carbohydrate chemistry.

Anomerases are enzymes that catalyze the interconversion of anomers.

The anomerase is responsible for catalyzing the conversion of anomers.
